Summary04245: CSS class "questionhelp" used for two different elements
Description

The class "questionhelp" is used for two different parts of a question, namely for the {QUESTION_HELP} -with underscore- content, the built-in hint/instructions how to answer the question type; and also for the custom {QUESTIONHELP} -no underscore- content inserted by users as part of creating a question, normally shown at bottom with ?-icon.

This makes it difficult to style the two different components properly, particularly the {QUESTION_HELP} content. Some templates have hardcoded styling and in the "default" template the {QUESTION_HELP} content looks identical to the actual question text.

Additional Information

A quick and dirty fix would be to add more complex CSS selectors (child/descendant) in template.css to select {QUESTION_HELP}, eg. see attached patch against v1.87, build 8498 for the default template.

A good fix should provide a unique class for {QUESTION_HELP}, but even better also distinguish the two parts more clearly in both placeholder and class - perhaps Q_INSTRUCTIONS.

Ermm, the child selector which I used in the diff might be overkill. span.questionhelp might work just as well as a selector ...

Fixed in revision 8603

I changed the class for the {QUESTIONHELP} element to "survey-question-help" in all templates. This differentiates it from the {QUESTION_HELP} element.

ITEd, although I agree it may be confusing, I didn't muck around with the {QUESTIONHELP} keyword as I thought that may be too disruptive to existing custom templates.
